Table Leg Dragonflies and Butterflies, Peacock and Zebra Hand Painted designs

Update as of Spring 2016, I'm no longer making the dragonflies.

I sincerely appreciate all the past orders, thank you!

Please visit my new online shop featuring my coastal and 

nature themed mosaics. 

I've been making a lot of butterflies and dragonflies lately!

The peacock design has been pretty popular so I made a few more

I really love the colors on the peacock wings

I adore animal prints, especially zebra...

This one has green glass eyes and rusty antenna.

I had already made a yellow zebra butterfly and wanted to 

make a dragonfly with that design too.

I've even painted an armoire in the yellow zebra design.

I had small brass rivets I wanted to use so I predrilled holes 

and pounded the rivets into the wooden body

I also added this funky brass knob to the body.

This one is not officially "zebra", maybe more of a 

tiger stripe in blue and orange for Auburn University.

A fun way to show team spirit! This one sold before I could even 

list it in my Etsy Store. People are serious about their teams!

Another zebra dragonfly...

I twisted the tines of an old fork for the antenna and used a rusty hinge for the eyes.

I rusted the hinge myself and described the process in a recent post.

Here's peacock wings again but this time edged with a lil' leopard print

up close...

A decorative metal piece for the eyes and twisty wire antenna

And one more dragonfly in the peacock series...

I love the distressed teal body on this one

detail...

I used two of my rusty washers and glass beads for the eyes and rusty wire antenna.

Hey, did you know that dragonflies only have very small antenna 

that you usually can't even see?

I only know because I get a lot of emails telling me this LOL :)

Yes, most of my dragonflies have large antenna along with zebra, 

peacock feather, seashell, flag or other types of painted wings... 

which I've never seen on a real dragonfly.

I'm thinking it's all good and I love the look of the antenna on my fantasy dragonflies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
